Gender questions + breed queries?

Hello friends,
Wanting some insight on the following kids. Do we think they are pullets or cockerels?
1. Buff naked neck, 8wks (he has a much redder face than his sister so I’m thinking boy)
2. White naked neck, 8wks
3. Duccle x silkie, 7wks
4. Buff orpington 8wks
5. Buff orpington 8wks
6. Buff Orpington 8wks
7. Mixed breed, 10ish weeks

The 3 orpingtons are supposedly from the same clutch, is there a reason they would have such a big difference in their feathers? #4 is so much more feathered and also has yellow legs, whereas the other 2 have pink legs. Any thoughts? Is it a health thing, are they actually different breeds, or is #4 just a roo??

So far 6 looks like the only potential cockerel. #4 is a Production Red rather than a Buff Orpington. Update in a few weeks when they're all feathered!

It's still too early to tell, but I don't see any roosters.

wow it’s crazy that you can differentiate between 5 and 6, they look so identical to me lol!! And I never even considered that 4 wasn’t an orpington. Breeder claimed they were purebred and doesn’t have New Hampshire or production reds. I thought the 2 others must have just been sick. How very strange! Thank you for your input

All look like pullets. 6 is looking like it could be a cockeral though. Please update when they are fully feathered.

Five and six don’t look like orpingtons either… I think you just got scammed. They are way too dark to be buff, they allmost are a rust red in the photo. Also six has grayish brown stripes on the wings. (Something buffs don’t have, while the other is not a good buff color) I think you where sold mutts. Even my feedstore buff is a better quality than those.
